Art

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Wonky lines, dabs and smears Displayed on a canvas Interpretation a perspective I see chaos You see meaning I see an ugly mess You see art I ponder at the abstraction You perceive form I struggle to understand You marvel knowingly Here we both stand Two clashing perspectives Neither right, Neither wrong But each convinced Sure we are correct Failing to comprehend The alternative viewpoint Clinging to our narrative Closed to a different understanding Same input, different output A metaphor for life
